Well-known treasure Portuguese Taverna re-opened its doors in July 2016 with new owners, new chefs and a lip-smacking new menu and is already the talk of the town. Known for the fire and passion that goes into our food, giving it that lusty and robust flavour all come back for again and again.

The atmosphere is vibrant, lively and energetic. The staff welcoming and service excellence focused. The owners actively visible on the floor. Daily specials on meals and drinks keeps the menu exciting. Each menu item being in competition with its neighbour all equally deserving an Olympic gold medallion from the succulent Beef Espetada and Eisbein to mouth-watering Tripe and Beans, sardines, Portuguese chicken & giblets.

Portuguese Taverna originally opened almost two decades ago by a Portuguese gentleman called Jackie and is today still fondly remembered in the stories told by the regular patrons to the Taverna. As a boy from Namakwaland and a girl from the Free State, the new owners Morne and Yolandi Fourie surely plan to keep the good food, excellent service and lively vibes that Jackie started so many years ago, a certainty in the Taverna.

The menu is spiced up by daily changing specials and Ginoís live entertainment on Fridays. Our team is complemented by Eduardo Jose Luis Farelo who is involved with the day to day running of the Taverna.

Eddie has been in the restaurant and pub trade for more than 30 years. He grew up working in his parents' various restaurants in Cape Town and Northern Province, examples being: "The Blue Moon Roadhouse". Yes believe it or not, it was the full house American Milky Bar with the Waitresses on Rollerblades, with frilly hairstyles to match their frilly aprons, and the old Cadillacs and Pontiacs tooting their musical horns for quick service, and believe it or not this all happened in the Old Vereeniging District. Eddie purchased Guzzlers, Milnerton in 1998 and ran it till 2012. Then he opened Guzzlers "Exclusive" on Koeberg Road. He also owned and ran Guzzlers Portuguese Taverna's in Table View, Pinelands (Ndabeni), Durbanville, Parklands, and still runs Guzzlers in Boy De Goede circle together with Ross Cowing. He also runs the Vasco Da Gama Restaurant in Green Point, Cape Town.
